Article Excerpt:

The success rate for lawsuits that claim the big star or major studio stole Idea X is astonishingly low. Somebody would have to help me out on the last time a court ruled in favor of the little guy.

We just wrote a couple of weeks ago about the pair of writers trying to halt the release of Love Happens because it sounded like an idea they gave Universal. So far: Nothing. Now it's Chris Rock's turn to be hounded by legal proceedings.

Regina Kimbell has filed suit against Rock and "several film companies," according to The Hollywood Reporter, stating that elemens of her film My Nappy Roots have been co-opted for the comedian's new documentary Good Hair.
